　　According to experts, currently, more than 20 types of infectious diseases caused by sexual behavior or similar sexual behavior are classified internationally. disease Included in the category of sexually transmitted diseases. The more common sexually transmitted diseases include gonorrhea, syphilis, non-gonococcal urethritis, condyloma acuminata, I. trachomatis, chancroid, genital herpes, trichomoniasis, hepatitis B and AIDS wait. Among them, 8 types of STDs: syphilis, gonorrhea, genital herpes, condyloma acuminata, chancre, non-gonococcal urethritis, lymphogranuloma venereum and AIDS, are listed as key STDs for prevention and control in my country due to their easy onset, difficulty in curing and huge harm.

　　The reason why sexually transmitted diseases are given the rather indecent name of "venereal diseases" is inseparable from the way they are transmitted. STDs can be caused by viruses, bacteria, and parasites. Sexually transmitted diseases caused by viruses include genital warts, hepatitis B and genital herpes. Sexually transmitted diseases caused by bacteria include gonorrhea and syphilis. scabies , trichomoniasis and pubic lice are sexually transmitted diseases caused by parasites. Sexual contact and unclean behavior are the main ways of transmitting sexually transmitted diseases.

　　However, getting a sexually transmitted disease does not necessarily mean you have had unclean sex. Indirect contact transmission, blood product transmission, mother-to-child transmission, occupational transmission, iatrogenic transmission, etc., may all be ways of transmitting sexually transmitted diseases. For example, condyloma acuminata can also be transmitted by scratching the genitals with contaminated hands or using contaminated towels; for example, gonorrhea can be transmitted by contact with patient's secretions containing diplococcus gonorrhoeae or contaminated utensils, such as towels, footbaths, clothes, sheets, bathtubs, toilet paper, and even toilet seats stained with secretions.

　　Gonorrhea is the most common sexually transmitted disease in the world

　　The most distinctive features of gonorrhea are redness and swelling of the urethra and white pus

　　Compared with other sexually transmitted diseases, gonorrhea has the largest patient population in the world. Caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, male compare female Common. After men get gonorrhea, the main symptoms are urethritis, redness and swelling of the urethral orifice, pus discharge, stinging, and burning sensation. Difficulty urinating and frequent urination. If not treated in time, it will turn into chronic urethritis. Female gonorrhea patients present with Cervicitis , there is purulent discharge from the vaginal opening, vaginal redness, swelling, congestion and tingling sensation, but other symptoms are not obvious.

　　Gonorrhea is mainly transmitted through unclean sexual intercourse, but it can also be transmitted indirectly through contaminated clothes, bedding, towels, bathtubs, toilets, etc. Pregnant women with gonorrhea can develop secondary intraamniotic infection after fetal membrane rupture and can be transmitted to fetus , neonatal gonococcal conjunctivitis can be caused when a newborn passes through the infected birth canal of a pregnant woman. Mild or asymptomatic gonorrhea patients are even more important sources of infection. The reason why gonococci can quickly infect reproductive organs and urinary organs is because gonococci have pili and can quickly adhere to the epithelial cells of the mucous membranes of these organs and multiply rapidly to form inflammation. Some studies have found that the chance of transmission from an infected woman to a man is less than the rate of transmission from an infected man to a woman because the amount of bacteria required for male infection is larger.

　　Genital herpes is extremely contagious

　　A sexually transmitted disease caused by herpes simplex virus type II. Highly contagious. Main symptoms: Blisters and ulcers appear in the genital area, accompanied by pain. Symptoms such as systemic fever, myalgia, and headache may occur if symptoms continue. Female genital herpes cervical cancer The risk is very high. If a pregnant woman gets sick, it is very easy to transmit it to newborns, which can lead to 60%-70% death of newborns.

　　After the herpes virus attacks, there will be symptoms such as bursts of tingling, burning sensation, skin ulcers and small wounds, and blisters will appear. In severe cases, the blisters will produce water, making the affected area painful and itchy.

　　Herpes is clinically divided into type 1 and type 2. Herpes that appears on the lips or around the nose is often type 1, while herpes that appears in the genital area is often type 2. The scope of infection can also involve the eyes, brain or meninges. It is mainly transmitted through direct contact with infected secretions. Once infected, the chance of cure is very low. Drug treatment can only alleviate the symptoms, and the disease is likely to recur, reappearing suddenly depending on the patient's own disease condition or emotional stress.
